1. Installation and Battery Life

The AG4x can be installed in a variety of unpowered assets and equipment, such as roll-off bins, intermodal containers, portable toilets, and field assets. The AG4x can also be installed on powered equipment, though it is recommended to use the AG24 with a Power Cable in these instances.

The AG4x can be installed in two easy steps:

Mount the AG4x to the asset using self-tapping screws or very-high-bond tape (both included with the device). Zip ties or mounting bolts can also be used.

To add the device to your organization, navigate to cloud.samsara.com/activate and enter your AG4x serial number. This AG4x should then be linked to your Samsara Cloud Dashboard and will display location information once successfully activated and connected.

Once activated, the AG4x will conduct a check-in with the Samsara Cloud Dashboard every 12 hours.

Battery Life

The AG4x has an internal battery that can last up to 5 years under optimal conditions. The following tips can help ensure battery longevity in an AG4x.

Avoid storing the asset in areas without GPS reception, such as metal sheds or multi-story warehouses.

If the device is not in use (such as devices on seasonal assets), remove the end cap to disable connectivity.

Protect the battery from extreme cold or heat, and never expose the device to temperatures above 176° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius) or below -40° Fahrenheit (-40° Celsius).
